Follwed the instructions for installing PuppetDB from pupptlabs url: 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/latest/configure.html#using-postgresql

After running the following commands to create puppetdb user and puppetdb 
database I cannot login with the password I provided for puppetdb
$ sudo -u postgres sh $ createuser -DRSP puppetdb $ createdb -E UTF8 -O 
puppetdb puppetdb $ exit

I keep getting a connection error, can anyone shed any light on this, 
appreciate your help in advance.

I was able to run a psql puppetdb without issue and then saw the creation 
of the puppetdb database.

Hello:

I always seem to not be able to use localhost even with Posgtres bound
to all addresses.  The command I tend to use is like:

 psql -h 10.10.10.10 -d puppetdb -U puppetdb -W

then enter your password.
